Berra than you Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Not accusing the poster of making it up, but I'd be surprised if we were in for McCarthy. Doesn't fit either out model of signing young players, or the vigorous recruitment process. We may well have been offered him of course. If we do sign him, I reckon it's because other targets might not be available till summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd be getting twice the player in McCarthy and he's also only 31 compared to Whelan being 35/36 when we signed him. We could do far worse on a short term deal until the end of the season. My assumption is that he would sit between Haring and Halliday in the pecking order (Devlin/Beni > Haring > McCarthy > Halliday). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On loan from Celtic, career on a downward trend, looking at another loan after us. Not sure that fits the young vibrant pacy players we have been looking at so far. Maybe on a short term deal but do we really need another midfield player, who will more likely warm the bench.?far more pressing requirements elsewhere in the team.

Decent fix for a short term problem though. We don't need a long term project or someone to make a profit from, we just need some cover whilst Beni gets back up to fitness. It all depends on Beni's situation but some are alluding to him being out for a bit longer than originally thought. If he is out then we absolutely need someone to come in to provide some cover for Haring. I'm not interested in him as a permanent signing but if he's available on loan for the rest of the season then like I say we could do a lot worse.

Nobody other than Hibs really did loans from other SPL clubs the past few years but it is more common now. Rangers even loaned an Aberdeen player FFS. Celtic have just brought a load of attacking players in. If you don’t think Celtic have one attacking player that might help our forward line for the rest of the season then I’d be surprised at that.
